would be interesting to see the low light performance with the internal raw vs the other codecs.
also I would like to learn more about the lens options especially the zoom lenses Panasonic offers .
Thanks for the video, Matthew! Just so I understand, the GH7 can shoot 5.7K 60fps in ProRes, OR, 5.7K 60fps only in 10-bit? Thanks :)
Hello, how are you? I want to ask you about the new Lumixgh7 camera. I have an external recording device that supports 16BIT RAW video, but does the camera accept external RAW recording or is the highest quality in the camera PRORES RAW 12BIT? Honestly, I want 16bit RAW
Do you think that log c 3 or apple pro Res Raw comes with the new update firmware for lumix s5iix
Enjoyed this, I don't have one of these, but I really need to check them out. I have a couple Lumix cameras but this one looks super! Thanks for the video!
Now we have the GH7, I realize how much I miss my Lumix GH-S line camera, something that's most focused on best low light, more dynamic range, bigger sensor (a x1.7 this time), and video features.
As if this sensor isn't capable of the same
The gh5s (that i own) was the perfect mft video camera
@@stefanobonetti4952 Agree, completely!!... I still believe that, in some way, it is part of the future move of Panasonic to release a successor of the Lumix Gh5S as well as they did with the GH7: "as a surprise".
It does not make that a line-up camera so good, so demanding and so popular is discontinued! I don't understand that!!
The Lumix GH-S, at the beginning, seems like the High level Video and Cinema camera Mirrorless Design Lumix camera, the correspondence of the Panasonic Eva 1
(Maybe the Eva-1 should be released first, and than the Gh7-S)
I imagine an update Lumix GhS line now with the new technology of the canon c400 "three based iso", it would be nice to see that as well from Panasonic in future camera, like the possible Lumix Gh7S.
But this time with IBIS, Digital or Electronic ND, A new m43 Sensor with x1.7 crop, 4k 240p 10-bit with Hybrid AF, 15 Stop DR with DR Boost, about a price of $2500 to 2900.
Hi! Can ARRI LogC3 be used in photo mode and prores raw?
Man I hope Panny can add 10bit HEIF so I can shoot all the photos in log and grade them in Resovle. 8bit JPG is a no-no with log gamma.
Unfortunately no and no to both of those questions
can you tell me what effects pack you're using for your transitions ??
For the fire transition is stuff I have created with sound pack over time
Thanks for the video...nice paddle!
Be nice to see a fw update for the GH6 now for real time luts and link to lumix app. Failing that some tech head build a magic lantern app for it to unlock features lumix keep nerfed. They did it for canon just look at a standard T3i and a lantern T3i
Hopefully they release a GH7s and GH7 box-cam, similar to the GH5s with a lower resolution sensor and true pixel to pixel without the crop.
There will be no ibis if they use bigger cmos
Arri Log seems nice !!
Can anyone tell me how to use the xlr adapter AND an extern monitor at the same time? The xlr needs the hotshoe where the screen is supposed to be..
I gotchu! I am working on a video rig build for the GH7. There is this top handle from SmallRig that can go on the camera while the XLR unit remains in place. So the handle forms around the XLR unit
It was nice meeting you at the cinegear expo.
I posted a video with Sean, and we can probably hear you chatting in the background in it.
Does the sensor have a antialiasing filter? I was shocked when I saw the footage of my 5s2 of an interview with lots of moiré.
Oh, yes. An OLPF would be great
Great video Matt! Subbed!
Quick question if I may; is it true that the image out of this new sensor is pretty much noise free in low light conditions up to 6400ISO?
And then after that, it starts to get quite noisy.
I'm curious as there is no dual native ISO on this new sensor in the GH7.
So it would be good to know if the upper limit is around 6400ISO, which if we're fair is plenty useful in low light conditions.
If you get a chance to give some expert advice on this, it would be greatly appreciated!
And I hope you have an amazing day or night whenever you may see this 😎
100% honest still need to test low light conditions on this camera. But planning on working more videos about this vs S5iiX coming soon
I have a question that none of the TH-cam reviews of the GH7 have mentioned... Does the GH7 have network streaming capability like the GH5 m2 did?
For streaming? I am pretty sure it does! But I never streamed with the camera before🤔
Totally agree if they offered a 60 or even 48 fps open gate I would buy this in a second. Would they be able to add it with a firmware update or is that a hardware issue?
Hardware limitation cause the device to overheat I believe
@@MatthewDangyou I've heard that too, hopefully they can find a way to figure it out. That would be the biggest selling point for me
Hey I would love it it if even it was a 5-10 minute record limit that would be good enough for me😂
great review and slick shirt. Where can we get those? Cheers
Hahaha we will see😏
The Zitay DIY CF Card adapter works perfectly S1 and worked perfectly in my GH6, I use a 2TB 2230 NVMe 4.0 from Silicon Power just as good a native CF Express B card. Saved myself hundreds of dollars
Thank you for the helpful information and review! One side note - I'm not sure if it's due to your preferences for exposing, grading, and/or the LUT you're using, but it seems like the highlights in your videos are somewhat overexposed compared to some of the other footage I've watched of the G9II and the GH7. It makes it a bit harder to gauge the dynamic range of these cameras if we have to guess if what we're seeing might largely be due to how the footage was captured and processed or if we're seeing the actual limitations of the camera. No shade intended; I enjoy your videos and have found them valuable. This is just something I noticed.
Yeah tbh I don’t really review a ton in terms of dynamic range because in all honesty I will just make sure my settings are correct for how I want the image to look😅 but thanks for the feedback👍🏻
There are some differences between S&Q and VFR - at least there used to be. Different codecs, bitrates, less control in S&Q in general. Would be nice if someone looked into it! As in if that is the case for these two cameras as well (GH7 and G9ii).
Wait are you saying open gate 60 is not on it??? I watched another review s ays u get OG 60fps when shoot 4.4?
No that is incorrect information. 4.4K 60fps is for anamorphic shoot and is not open gate whatsoever. If you take a 4k 60fps shot and a 4.4k 60fps shot. You will notice the 4.4k just crops the sides of the 4K shot. It doesn’t get any extra information in terms of height but instead loses information on the right and left side of the screen
@@MatthewDangyou thanks for the clarification bummer really need OG at 60fps
is the XLR adapter interchangeable with the s5ii/iiX?
Not currently I believe
@@MatthewDangyou dangggg, we need that asap
Just need Windows and HDMI 4K 60P 4:4:4, its definitely Pany. Got lenses for it, 4:2:0 looks ok through the reciever, but that's because Windows HDR tuner knocks down "limited" spectrum. A pure m43 isn't amazing not knocked up 15 -> 235 on 4:2:0.
Would anyone ever purchase a GH7 to serve as a proper hybrid camera? How does it compare in photos versus the S5iix?
Great question! I am a pretty basic photographer and shoot professionally just for video soooo 🤷🏼♂️ the results are pretty close minus the bokeh depth vs light because of the sensor size
Do this mean that we can expect to tecord BRAW just as PRORES RAW in the future
I mean external braw I believe is still abled. However Blackmagic to allow BRAW would probably have to license it would be my personal guess
Can you record at 1080p 120fps in open gate, with AF.
Not in open gate
@@MatthewDangyouthanks 👍🏻
Hey Matt is the rumor true that have kind of sdi 3G or 12g out over the flash sync socket (time code socket)
This is NOT true. The flash sync port is only used for 2 purposes. Flash sync, or timecode (with the included cable)
@@seanr1736 ok so like GH5s,Gh6 etc...was surprised to read the fake newsit but sure make sense...still a great cam the GH7 (happy that I finally can upgrade my 2 GH5) but kind of missing a an upgrade to GH5s a GH7s with maybe dual ISO 400-5000 (GH5s is 320-2500) but probably because of the dual gain tech for DR not doable...maybe a triple native ISO like canon C400😂😂😂in 2028
I shoot with voigtlander mft f0.95 60mm and 17.5 lenses. I want to say that I like the picture from these lenses. I also want to say that the camera itself (the body) this is just a fixator of the image that the lens draws. I have a gh6 camera, very comfortable, very reliable, combined with good lenses gives excellent results. New features have been added to the gh7, but not enough for my personal tasks to buy a new camera, perhaps in a year as a second one. Arri clog3 is needed for professional use, row in the body is also for the pros. Rather, I was waiting for nd filters in the body and a 5 megapixel viewfinder. In general, gh7 has become better, much better, but I also have a lot of gh6 features. Thanks to panasonic for leaving the case the same, it's beautiful. Panasonic did a great job, respect to you guys!
你录制视频这个机位用的啥相机和镜头
Lumix S5iiX and the 24 1.8
Geez! Once again, LUMIX is packing their cameras with incredible features. If the few cons you mentioned are addressed in their full-frame systems, it’s going to be wild!
Also, how is the HDMI lag? I haven't used their GH line in a while and wasn't sure if it's as noticeable as with their full-frame cameras. I recently finished a project, and my shots at 6K 24, were a bit difficult to manage with its latency, even with all the tips and tricks.
Great review dude 🙌🏽
Thanks Oli! Human eye there really isn’t any HDMI lag, and you don’t have to turn the sound off either! It would be nice to hear the record sound when hdmi is pluggin in though. But I don’t notice a ton of lag when hdmi sound is off though for the S5iiX
@@MatthewDangyou sweet! Love to hear that! 🙌🏽
Isn't there a 4.4k/60fps opengate mode?
That is a crop 4K image not open gate. So you actually lose information or losing parts of the image in 4.4K
I love this but I want it in full frame 😭. I might switch systems if they can pull that off
I agree if this was a full frame sensor I would buy it in a heartbeat. But hold on to your pocketbook… Next week Nikon is releasing the 6iii Which just might be what you’re hoping for!
Great job
When are they adding Braw with higher fps limit?
🤷🏼♂️
goood,can you share 1shoting raw for share?
Like a video clip? If so yeah I can! I probably will do a whole other video shooting on raw (my hard drive will cry though lol) and can share those clips
@@MatthewDangyou waitting for you raw:)I want test it .3ks
Great cam! But it would be MUCH better if it had dual/ triple base iso, full
Frame,hdmi lag solved. Sony a7siii basically did tho 5 years ago. :(
This is what the GH6 should have been all along.
Glad we got it!
This is a killer review. I think in terms of features this is a win. In the image dept though i haven’t seen anything special tbh. The highlights just don’t look good to me on anything I’ve seen shot with it. (Granted it’s a m43).
Thank you!
GH6, GH5 all dropped like a rock n price within weeks of laumch...same with the GH7?
All I wanna know is the low light performance. I wish it was BRAW or a BRAW paid upgrade... But hey...I can't win em all
Ha for sure! Gonna probably do a video testing it. With the pickleball shots I got I was kinda shocked about the noise at 500iso
@@MatthewDangyou try ISO 500 and 2000 using vlog then use the "color space transform" to convert the footage into Panasonic vlog in davinci resolve let's see how the noise looks. Note overexpose the footage by 1 stop (this should reduce noise in the shadows) this is the best way I've used and seen Panasonic vlog used to reduce and lower noise natively.
Did you mean to say "stops of stabilization" instead of "axises of stabilization"??
Maybe😅🤷🏼♂️
Would have liked to see at least full 6K res.
Looking Forward to S1H MK2
anywhere outside of the US, this is beyond people's budgets.
Well wait for the used market🤷🏼♂️ like name another camera with theses features and settings though. This would be double the price for Full Frame too
@@MatthewDangyou I'm just saying its really a production camera at this price point ($3900 AUD, and then another ~$1k for the XLR2). GH6 new is $1700aud. I don't think youtubers need the GH7 for the most part.
@@spacelord1913 For sure! I mean this is definitely a powerhouse camera. And yeah for people who don’t do professional video getting an S5ii would be perfect for them for YT. As someone though who runs a video production company that is the perspective of using this camera which is a powerhouse. So I feel like the price is fair, but to your point I am pretty blessed for being in the US where $2.2K is a pretty “affordable” camera
Ahh, too bad it's good the more digital look you mentioned. Would love it to have that more filmic, smoother image to it.
Along with a different internal type of raw, like braw - Or even better - Red's DSMC2 raw! With all the compresison settings that even went to 22:1! that was amazing... Or a completely custom compression rate without limits!
Maybe also some custom dynamic range boost settings - I think the technique used is similar to what arri does, not quite like Red's hdrx.
Open gate 48p
oversampled raw (I think the Nikon Z8 does it with 4k nraw)
But still, this is great!! And these are just some ideas that came to mind
Maybe that's something for a possible S5iii
Love the ideas! Red licensing RAW might be a stretch with the purchase from Nikon, but ARRI playing nice with Lumix is a real amazing step forward. Especially still this is the first time any other camera has ARRI log. I would really love to see a RAW LQ. My hard drives would be grateful😂
The GH7 is a great camera. It sems to have a better DR than G9II. Image color reproduction on the m4/3 is behind the S5 series
This is basically just a GH6 Mark II.
I wish it recorded dng raw so you can edit raw footage on all pc
You can convert the footage to DNG I believe
@@MatthewDangyou cool
Good video, but it drove me nuts every time you said "expecially" ;)
Pro res raw, wow, but still has no dual native ISO, and they call it a video centric camera.
12:05 didn't expect that the image of GH7 is much sharper than GH6
I'm actually thinking the sharpening is an engineering choice to get better AF performance
You hate the battery door? have had my GH4 for 10 years and I've never had one issue. It's fast and convenient.
The battery door is different I’m pretty sure from the GH4 to the GH7
This is,a good budget friendly cam
The his is a real good budget camera for cinema work
Panasonic is a smaller company that cannot afford maintaining many different product lines like Sony and Canon. That's why we haven't seen a camcorder style cinema camera from them since EVA1.
since when Sony maintains their products ?
Smaller in what way? Panasonic is a global brand and has a huge commercial division in all sorts of things.
"I'm sure they work" - bro your whole job here is to test the camera.
Brother I ain’t driving 45 minutes to an airport for this video😂 like I have used the car and motorcycle. They work fine. I don’t see myself using train and plane tbh so it isn’t my job to test it🤷🏼♂️ I’m gonna review the camera how I personally use it
Needs a battery grip. The battery life sucks. Other than that it’s amazing.
2 CF Express type B cards? That would cost more than the camera itself lol
😂😂😂 fair. Like $200/card
Just use USB-C storage
Almost perfect except for the sensor size LoL
What is a perfect camera according to you?
Full Frame, all these same settings as the GH7, open gate 60fps, internal nd’s, in a box style camera (personally I would like the last one). Oh and also Lumix lol
For me that would be the perfect camera.Now little things though like if it had internal NDs but no ibis I would pass on that, but open gate 60fps would be real nice🤤
use the train and plane autofocus
The deal breaker for me is the image. I was hoping it would be more similar to the gh6. To me all the GH6 needed was phase detect autofocus
I'm in the same boat I think
what are you talking about
@@botbot3698 the image is more similar to the g9ii vs the GH6
@@jakfilms its a digital camera that shoots raw, there is no "image", just your skill in post production
@@botbot3698 there’s always a image lol Matthew just stated it’s more of a sharper digital look vs the warm soft image we got in the GH6
So they gonna slap some of this tech in another existing body and call it G200 or G100ii
Probably not but who knows lol
If it is Netflix approved camera.
some guy gonna come in and complain about HFR
8 axes of stabilisation? What are you talking about?!...
I probably just mispronounced it🤪 but I meant 8 axis of stablization which the G9ii has
S1Hm2....
Gh6 looks for filmic and less digital than the gh7 from what I see
I think it just because of the GH6 AF, the G9II by exemple has the same details output than the GH6, but when comparing both using AF-C the GH6 AF is just not accurate and looks softer.
@@aiseurnae5976 do you feel the gh7 is worth the upgrade from the g9ii?
@@level6visuals363No, only if you shoot in extreme conditions and your G9II overheat, I never had issue with mine.
Proresraw is good on the paper, because it will remove bad NR and sharpening but the files are so huge, you need lot of storage but also time. I don't think a lot of people will use it.
Maybe I would have upgraded from my GH6 and G9II if the GH7 got the same colors than the GH6. But even if the colors were the same I don't know because I have some focus accuracy issues on my G9II and some lenses in video, sometimes nothing is in focus. The GH6 is useless in AF-C but at least it has no accuracy issue when using AF-S.
Gh6 image > gh7 and arri lut didn’t look special at all. Just says “arri”
Well to be fair give the ARRI to someone who grades ARRI and it will look like ARRI. I tried to mimic my VLOG look😅🤷🏼♂️
@@MatthewDangyou haha to be fair this is totally a gimmick lol the lens and processor can’t handle it
Well it can handle it. Otherwise why would ARRI licensee it. Lumix is the only other current brand that has an ARRI log color profile. So high end productions will buy 10 of these cameras purely for a crash cam🤷🏼♂️
It is completely mispriced!
🤷🏼♂️I just wait the price will fluctuate over time
highlights look terrible
Kill the branded shirt..... Brand yourself unless you are bought and paid for😅
I actually have a discord called Lumix Creators👍🏻 so this is my design and thing.
@@MatthewDangyou You should point that out but you do know that Lumix will come after you if it ever get popular for trademark infringement. It best to let your audience know this since it gives more transparency. Good luck and fair review. 👍
@terrygriffin5201 actually logo trademark is in the works, plus I’ve talked to Lumix in person already about it too and they offered to even wear a shirt in livestreams👍🏻 the word and design LumixCreators is not trademarked either too (yet) but worth the thought :) Thanks!
That’s like saying a Ford focus is nearly a perfect car… It’s not, it’s a piece of crap. I’m not saying the GH7 Is crap… But who in this modern age would buy a micro 4/ thirds camera. That’s insane. I’m sure Panasonic will come out with a full frame version of this camera.
*@**7:38**: Uhhh, I don't think you're using Arri Log C. You have to pay $200.00 as it is a licenced paid upgrade to activate on your camera. You just think you are using it (????) Have you confirmed the Arri Log "C" licence is activated on your camera ? Your Teal tint colour grade really does not make your footage look very good on TH-cam. I want to see what the GH7 spits out NATIVELY, and messing up a grade is not my idea of presenting a camera in a fair way for an accurate evaluation of its image and colour performance.*
To be fair, I have never played with ARRI log footage, and just would want the same look that I get with my VLOG. But I was using ARRI Log C3 for those shots though. I just graded it a bit longer than my VLOG
GH7 will NOT save MFT. It will not significantly change the market share of MFT. As other reviewers stated, GH7 is much inferior to real professional video cameras. So you won't attract the Pros to buy this GH7. As for the total newbies and novices the GH7 will not attract them as the price is too high and the video features of GH7 are not meaningful to novices.
Wowie, well this camera is definitely gonna hit a new market though with ARRI log allowing it to be a crash camera for the industry will be huge. Now the price will change over time too and they will be cheaper. But idk lot of people’s heads are turning seeing what this camera has to offer. The hard part is though it isn’t full frame but for the legacy market this camera is what people have been asking for🤷🏼♂️
Which “pro’s” are you referring to? If you mean strictly cinema camera shooters, then maybe not. But mirrorless users will be all over this camera. Stop it the nonsense. All these baseless forms of conjecture are played out in 2024. Try again. Lol
Bro, the “LUMIX HATE” is so ridiculously real 😂 People go off into tangents about M4/3 not good enough, Sony/Canon being unbeatable or intentionally overlooking all the advanced LUMIX internal features over other brands. Reading all the “Educated Feeling Based comments are getting tedious especially from people who are not going to buy the camera.
If ARRI personally designed an Official ARRI Lut for the GH7 and GH6 to be a C Cam or Crash Cam for ARRI, I don’t know what to say about people dumping on this Camera with personal feelings. It’s not for “You” we get it but a whole comment of negativity 😮😅
